  Speaker 5: We've been getting quite a few complaints and stuff about

• 9:56
  Speaker 5: Legate will be joining us as well. because he has

  Speaker 5: some things that he had to talk about, about what's

  Speaker 5: going on where he's at. He's also in a state of.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: Oh, I am?
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: I'm just sitting up here just like... Well, good evening, everyone.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: I do apologize for my tardiness. I was in class
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: and I had to switch everything over. So tonight... Well,
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: let me go back. This month is Wrongful Conviction Month.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: They celebrate They started it on October 2nd, I believe,
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: where they're bringing awareness to what's going on about the
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: wrongful convictions. As we also know that the number one
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: ethnic group that's been wrongfully convicted is the African. It's
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: the black man. It's the black man. Followed by the
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: Hispanics and so on down the line. But let's talk.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: I was waiting on Mr. Legate to call me because
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: we wanted to just check in with him. to see
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: how everything's processing with him. But I can tell you
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: about a couple of things about my husband, Juan Johnson,
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: who's over there in Denver, Colorado. He is in the
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: final stage with the Innocent Project. So they're right now
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: writing everything up. and getting ready to submit it on
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: his behalf. So we're just saying prayerful that, you know,
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: everything works out and we get that date for him
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: or be waiting at the gate, get the call, you know,
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: waiting at the gate for him to come walking up
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: out of the prison. So we just waiting on that.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: Also coming out of Denver, You know, like I said,
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: that this month is wrongful conviction month. We had, it
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: was a lady, she was on trial. Her name is
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Missy Woods. She was a DNA analyst. And she did over, oh,
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: she had did quite a few cases One of the
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: cases we know for sure that she worked on was
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: Glenn Kemp. As you can remember, Glenn Kemp was sentenced
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: to life in prison with the possibility of parole and
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: also 199 years added on to that sentence for something
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: that he didn't even do. So Missy Woods... Her assistants
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: actually told, rung into the forefront, what she has been doing.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: She was manipulating the DNA, the samples, and men and
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: women was going to jail, and they was getting life sentences,
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: shaking baby syndrome, and it wasn't true. So they constantly,
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: they're in there still fighting for their freedom. She went
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: to court and she was found guilty on, I believe
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: they said a hundred charges or something. And she, I
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: forgot the sentence that they was, that she was looking at,
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: but in June, was it June? I don't know. I
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: want to say July. She was sentenced. She was sentenced.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: To 10 years. 10 years. For falsifying DNA. Over 100 cases.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: And do you not know. That. not one of them
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: means that she falsified um dna samples are out they're
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: looking at their cases but they haven't given them lawyers
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: they haven't given them updates uh what's going on um
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: with them with their cases that she worked on so
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: it looked like glenn is going to have to pay
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: for a lawyer for something that he'd been sent for,
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: I believe Glenn been in prison for over 30 plus years.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: Within that time, his parents died. All his siblings has
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: passed away. Glenn is the only one besides his children
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: that are left. He lost a lot. Not only did
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: Glenn lose his family, his mother, siblings, and aunts and uncles,
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: and he lost his freedom. He lost over 30 plus
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: years wrongfully. And he's still sitting in prison To this day,
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: he's fighting for his freedom. He just had back surgery
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: two months ago. And so his health is failing him,
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: but yet he's fighting. He's fighting to come home. We
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: had Eugene, Gilbert, he got, he had got, what was that?
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: He had got clemency in May. In May, he got
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: clemency in May. Instead of them giving him like a
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: date to come home soon, they gave the governor a,
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: gave his date for next year. Eugene was bitten by
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: a spider and he went into the hospital. They did
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: surgery on his leg. The doctor went too deep. Just
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: messed him up. Eugene passed away in August. In August.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: In August. So when they gave him a life sentence,
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: they literally gave him a life sentence. Because that's the
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: way he came. He came out in a body bag.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: And that was devastating to his family. I know his
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: family personally. And I talked to his sister and I
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: met his children. He did 34 years. But yet and
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: still you have a lady that falsified these samples, DNA samples,
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: to hundreds of cases. And you guys let her, they
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: let her retire. They let her retire. before her trial.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: She retired. So, you know, she got her money, which
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: wasn't fair. And to only get 10 years. Here you
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: have one man that you worked on his case. Got
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: life with the possibility plus 199 years on top of that.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: And then you have Eugene Gilbert who got clemency and
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: didn't even make it home. And people want to know
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: Why we talk about wrongful convictions. You know, they want
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: to sweep it up under the rug. We can't do that.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: Look what they're doing to our Carmelo Anthony over there. Wrongfully.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: You can't even defend yourself. You can't. Without going to prison.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: I asked me and my husband, we was talking and
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: I asked him, I said, why is no relief? Why
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: do you think that they really don't investigate these claims
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: when these men said They're innocent. They really don't go
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: in depth with the investigation. And he said that they
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: just want to take away their youth. And want to
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: make sure that they can't have a life. The only
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: life they're going to get is when they come out,
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: you know, and they got to relearn and some of
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: them are all up in ages and, you know, 60
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: and 70 years old. They don't got, they don't got
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: they wear out of them. Moving, you know, free, free,
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: free labor. And then you have a, I believe it
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: was a, was it a sheriff or judge or something
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: over in Florida that said, you know, Now they want
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: them younger. They got a lot of work for you
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: to do. And they don't care if you're innocent or not,
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: which is not fair. You know, people just, I mean,
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: what are you really concerned of? I see on some
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: of these Facebook pages and stuff, you know, the whys
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: and stuff. I follow a lot of those. they only
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: worried about one thing, the states that don't have conjugal
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: visits or they want to pass a petition around. And
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: you know, and I asked them like, when you want
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: to get your husband home, if he's, you said that
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: he's innocent of these charges, when you want to fight
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: to get him home instead of passing around a petition
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: for conjugal visits. You know, I don't understand that. I
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: don't understand that mindset. And that's why sometimes, you know,
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: sometimes that's one, a couple of the reasons why you
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: guys haven't been seeing me, um, on live and Angela
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: just running tapes and stuff. I'm trying to get myself
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: right because when you read their cases and you see
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: the injustice, it overwhelms you. And then when you see
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: what they're doing to the young, our young men, our
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: young men, It overwhelms you. We have to.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: We can't let this go up under the rugs no more.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: We have to start in juvenile courts. Them judges are
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: voted in. And I know that some of you guys
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: are not voting. I know you probably just getting the
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: pamphlet and probably just throwing it in the trash instead
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: of doing your researches. And then when stuff like this happen,
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: when our young men are locked up wrongfully or profiled,
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: Then we want to say something. But we got to
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: keep using our voice. We got to keep speaking up.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: You know, two weeks ago, I was on my way
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: to work. And I work at night. And the windows
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: on my car is tinted. But you know, they're not
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: the real dark tint, but they're tint. If the lights hit,
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: you can see inside my car. They're not the real
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: dark tint, but they tint it. And so, you know,
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: I'm going alone. I'm on the phone talking to my husband.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: You know, I ain't touch my phone or anything. My
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: hair is... I'm getting my hair locked. It's locking up.
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: And so... The way she got the way the loctician
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: did my hair, it's like she just put all the
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: locks together and put them to the back. It don't
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: bother me, no, because, you know, hey, I'm just going
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: to work. And I see these, I see this car, like,
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: kind of, like it was passing me. But then it stopped.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: As soon as I passed it, it dropped behind me. So,
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm watching it and stuff to see, you know,
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: see what's going on. Like, hey, what's going on? Next
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: thing I know, I get the lights through on me.
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: Them blue and reds. Pull over. I pull over to
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: a safe spot where... I made, I don't just pull,
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: it's going to be lit up where I pull over
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: because I want people to see you not finished taking
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: me off nowhere. And I took the keys out the ignition,
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: put them on the dashboard without any of them. You know,
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: I raised down all my windows. So as he walking up,
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: he can see what's in my, what's in my car.
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: And when he walked up and he's looking and when
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: he realized that I was a female, he started stuttering. Oh,
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: how you doing? How are you doing this evening, ma'am? And, um,
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: I said, I'm doing well. I'm just headed off to work.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: And he said, you know, that something about a taillight
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: or something. But my taillights was everything on my car work.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: And that incident right there, of course, he let me go.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: That incident right there, it threw my whole night. Because
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: I'm like, why? You said a taillight. My taillights is working. No,
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: you pulled me over because you wanted to see who
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: was in my car. You wanted to know who exactly,
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: you know, the way my hair is braided back. That's
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: the only thing I can think of. And that's what
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: I told my husband. I said, he didn't have no
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: reason to pull me over. It's just been passing and
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: the whole little scene how he came up on the
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: side of me. and he looked and he just fell back.
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: He just fell back behind me, let me pass him.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: And then he just got him. I feel that, you know,
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: he was profiling. And that really threw my night. But
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: yet and still, I didn't give him no calls, no
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: nothing to do anything. I didn't talk smart to him
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: or anything. I just like, hey, okay, sir. Yes, sir.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: All right. Because my main thing was just to get
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: to work. That's all I was doing was just going
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: to work, minding my business. But now I see. what
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: our young men, our brown and black men go through.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: I see it. I see the harassments. Going, driving down
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: the street, I see it. I see how the homeless
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: men be out there and they harass the homeless people.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: When are we going to wake up? When are we
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: going to come together and stop fighting each other? Stop
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: looking at skin color. Because we all fight in the
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: same fight. The injustice is Hispanics wrongfully convicted. I spoke
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: to some. It's Caucasians that's wrongfully convicted. I spoke to some.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: They called me just to check in. And some of
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: them are fighting and they fighting Mr. Legate is fighting.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: And sometimes our last conversation, he was just like, sis,
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: I just, I just feel like giving up. And, you know,
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: I tell him, keep going. You know, his mom, he,
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: he says mom getting old, older, and she's have dementia.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: He's writing, he's reaching out to, to people and, you know,
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: Want people to look at his documentary. The documentary is
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: up on YouTube. It's been up there for some years.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: A news reporter did a whole documentary on Mr. Legate
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: and found evidence that can prove his innocence. But they
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: won't look into his case. And he was like, I
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: don't know what to do. I don't know what to do, sis.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: That's what he said. I don't know what to do.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: Wrongfully convicted. He's at work. Repo man. Just doing his job.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: No gunshot residue on him, on his hands. No nothing.
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: But he hadn't stilled. Mr. James Legate sits in Texas prison.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: And I believe he said it been, I want to
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: say 25 years. It was 25 years in August that
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: he been sitting in prison for something he didn't do.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: Something he didn't do. His daughter passed away a couple
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: of years ago. And he talks about her to me.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: And he says she was his only hope. She pushed
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: him to keep going. If someone out there, if you
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: guys know someone That can help Mr. Legate. Please reach
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: out to me. Or Angela. And we'll give you his information.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: He'd be more than happy to talk to you. His
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: story has not changed. If you look at his documentary.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: And go back and listen to what he had. When
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: he was on a show with me. When Angela and
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: I and Carnell. His story remains the same. It has
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: not changed. But they did find a man that said
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: that supposedly he was supposed to have been there, but
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: they found him over in Mexico. That can prove his innocence,
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: but they won't have him come back. So he sits.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: So he sits. Well, you know, I got homework to do.
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: And it don't look like Mr. Legate is going to call.
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: I know he said in his letter that the month
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: of October over there in Texas, they lock him down.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: I think he said for probably about, I want to
